(R&DA 1) Creative Teachers for Creative Learners
This research and development award aimed to support the development of primary trainees teachers’ understanding of – and teaching for - children’s creativity by producing an interactive bank of teaching and learning materials set within a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It was found that, at the beginning of their programme, primary teacher trainees had a narrow, arts-based view of creativity. This could be challenged by focussed observation of classroom practice using a framework ada

Do poems think? Recurrent images of the poet as an inspired lunatic, and of poetry as a fundamentally irrational art, have often fostered an understanding of poets and their work as generally extraneous to the work of the sciences. Yet poets have long reflected upon and have sought to embody in their work the most elementary processes of mind, and have frequently drawn for these representations on the very sciences to which they are thought to stand - and sometimes do genuinely stand - in opposi
This unit explores conceptual tools for assisting our thinking and deliberation on what matters. The notion of ‘framing’ nature is introduced and three readings provide an understanding of systems thinking for explicitly framing issues of environmental responsibility.
The flash card maker creates 9 unique flash cards with illustrations of cells in each stage of mitosis. The flashcard color, size, and content are customizable. The name of each stage can be included along with the illustrations. Stages included in the flash card set are Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis, and the Interphase G1, Interphase Synthesis, and Interphase G2.
This Oxford at Said seminar was dedicated to cancer research. Three researchers from the University of Oxford give insights into recent advances in the field of cancer cell biology, therapy and epidemiology. One in three people develop cancer, and one in five in Europe and North America die of the disease. Although environmental and lifestyle factors, for example smoking or sun exposure, affect the incidence of some cancer types, all human populations and many types of animal suffer from this di
Prof Adrian Hyde-Price from the University's Department of European Studies & Modern Languages examines the nature and causes of contemporary war and conflict, and considers the prospect of peace in the 21st Century.
How to make effective use of assessment and pupil data to gain an understanding of the progress pupils make and how to improve our practice.
This research compares the effectiveness of two approaches to teaching games in Physical Education: the Skills Approach and the Games for Understanding Approach.
The two main aims of this initial review were to identify the ways in which small group discussions were used in science lessons and to look at the effects of small group discussions on students’ understanding of science and attitudes to science.
A unit from the National Association for Language Development in the Curriculum (NALDIC) ITE Subject Induction Pack and Programme for English as an Additional Language (EAL) on teacher knowledge and understanding.
An article from the Citizenship Initial Teacher Training Professional Resource Network (citizED) on using school linking as a context for developing students' understanding of global citizenship.
This is a 15 minute Teachers TV programme where a practising specialist mathematics teacher demonstrates some of the various ways in which she uses a dynamic geometry program to improve the understanding of her pupils.
This GTC 'Research Of the Month' resource is a report of research from 2001 which aimed to identify and describe characteristics of effective teachers of primary numeracy, to enable these to be more widely applied. Teachers’ practice was analysed and their beliefs, knowledge and understanding explored.
This resource is an ESRC Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) report on research into children’s understanding of intensive quantities. Intensive quantities, such as speed or density which are often expressed as fractions or ratios, are not a requirement of the Primary National Curriculum. The research aimed to establish whether it is necessary to teach intensive quantities to primary aged children in order to enhance their understanding of quantity.
Adopting EPPI protocols, this systematic review investigated the effects of using different stimuli (print materials, practical work, ICT, video/film) on students’ understanding of evidence in science lessons with students aged 11-18.
The third of three reviews focusing on aspects of small-group discussion work in science lessons; this systematic review, adopting EPPI protocols, focused on the impact of small group discussion on students’ understanding of evidence in science.
